For some background, here's the review of the hepatitis B birth dose by CIDRAP's Vaccine Integrity Project:

WHY can’t they put some water in there??? Or if actors really can’t be trusted not to spill on themselves, maybe at least a resin or SOMETHING to give the cup some heft?

Neighbors - you do not need anyone's permission to sound your whistle when you spot ICE. Nor do you need to attend a whistle training first. Here's everything you need to know.

face coverings to hide your identity should also be cotton, and positioned to funnel the warmth of your breath onto any glasses or sunglasses you're wearing - wouldn't want those to be cold on your face!

Hey, I want to offer some helpful tips for coping with the cold for ICE folks who might have come from warmer places.

1. Wear cotton socks! Cotton is nice and soft next to your skin and will absorb your sweat so your feet stay warm. Cotton everything but ESPECIALLY socks!

“…in the past 48 hours, since ICE agents were spotted in Cedar-Riverside, the entire neighborhood has been under lockdown due to fear of being detained.”

given how checked out he is there's a real temptation in the second term to ascribe a lot of the most extreme remigration stuff to the various ghouls propping up this administration but he really is as vile and racist as they come

Stole this from the Cedar Cultural Center’s page since they aren’t here. ♥️♥️♥️

Extremely sweet black and white dog plays in the snow.

Anyone recognize this dog? My neighbor is watching him until his owners are found. Pit mix, male, pretty sizable, good at greeting and friendly behaviors and VERY SWEET. No tag, no chip. Surely his family yearns for him. Found in the Standish-Ericson neighborhood in Minneapolis, near Lake Hiawatha.

100% this thread. Get your kids to safety first. If you want to leave them with another caregiver and then come back you could do that but get your kids the hell out, that is your first responsibility.

Don't bring your dog, either.

It should be abundantly clear by now that it was never about “documented” vs. “undocumented” immigrants for Trump.

The majority of the Somali community came to the US as documented refugees…and many are citizens or legal residents.

Citizenship is rendered meaningless very quickly by fascists.

It's wild, but whistles that cost less than a dollar have been an effective tool in Chicago and other places for alerting people to the presence of ICE/Nazis. Want to help distribute, purchase or 3-D print whistles in Minneapolis? Here's the info you need!

IMO if you have a relatively new car (<10 years old) the block heater may not be necessary, especially if you have garage parking.

I didn’t want to overreact, and took time to read this. Having done so, I’m adding Northwestern to the list of places I won’t visit or speak. The concessions re: international students and gender-affirming care are not merely symbolic.

Depressing late Friday holiday news dump: Northwestern agrees to pay $75 million to the federal government.

The faculty vote against doing this, @heidikitrosser.bsky.social points out, was 595-4.

That's the kind of margin where going the other way reflects a major failure of university governance.

Again, there is no plan for running our universities without federal funding, or foreign students, at scale. But the public has no idea about this because no. one. is. telling. them. this. They expect their kids are still going to be able to do all the things at college in the next 4 years, & well:

New Study: Gender-Affirming Care Dramatically Lowers Suicide Risk for Trans Kids Twenty-seven states in the US ban gender-affirming treatments for trans youth, including hormone therapy.

"[G]ender-affirming care saves lives."

"Suicidality scores among the [study's] patients who provided responses dropped by over 67 percent."

"[O]f the hundreds of patients who started hormone therapy, only seven discontinued their treatment."
